In Breakfast of Champions, one of Kurt Vonnegutâ€™sÂ most beloved characters, the aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. What follows is murderously funny satire, as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth.

Catâ€™s Cradle is Kurt Vonnegutâ€™s satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planetâ€™s ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist, a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer, and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Catâ€™s Cradle is one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s most important worksâ€”and Vonnegut at his very best.Â

GalÃ¡pagos takes the reader back one million years, to A.D. 1986. A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the GalÃ¡pagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave, new, and totally different human race. In this inimitable novel, Americaâ€™s master satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awryâ€“and all that is worth saving.

The Sirens of Titan is an outrageous romp through space, time, and morality. The richest, most depraved man on Earth, Malachi Constant, is offered a chance to take a space journey to distant worlds with a beautiful woman at his side. Of course thereâ€™s a catch to the invitationâ€“and a prophetic vision about the purpose of human life that only Vonnegut has the courage to tell.

There's been a timequake. And everyoneâ€”even youâ€”must live the decade between February 17, 1991 and February 17, 2001 over again. The trick is that we all have to do exactly the same things as we did the first timeâ€”minute by minute, hour by hour, year by year, betting on the wrong horse again, marrying the wrong person again. Why? You'll have to ask the old science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout. This was all his idea.
